re: Rum Cellar Collection: Ocean Maps

I am making this post to help the community locate and complete their collections for the Rum Cellar Campaign. I originally had made a post to open the discussion with the community and very quickly ran into backlash and criticism for my efforts on Facebook and in game. Because I had ran into this backlash, and saw the drama it was creating, I decided to take down the post and keep it here on my own personal page (will not be posting this on any Everquest 2 Facebook group page). Now if you as the player decide you want to share this information, I fully endorse that. I did tell these people that I will figure out their little "secret" and will share it with everyone so they farm them themselves and don't have to pay a small fortune to complete these collections and get the end reward of the charm. (I will modify this post in the future if I learn anything else that is important.)

With that being said, here is what I know that you might find useful in finding your own shinies...

-RARE OCEAN MAPS collection (5) yields the end reward. (Have received these maps in the following order...)

-The 5th Map: SEA OF CROSSED SWORDS MAP is obtained by clicking the MAPBOARD in the LAST ROOM (behind the desk) of the regular heroic Rum Cellar. (In the same room as Portia and Chandra.) Clickable after defeating Portia and Chandra. This map is PLUNDERED when clicked. (After it is plundered, no one else can get it until it respawns.) THIS MAP RESPAWNS after 90 minutes. CONFIRMED.)

-The 3rd Map: GUNTHAK FLOW MAP is a reward from completing all the collections that comes from the CHESTS in the Rum Cellar Solo, and Adv. Solo. These 5 collections lead into a collection called BELONGINGS OF THE VANGUARD which when completed will give this map. (credit Guk.Piccxy for the correction)

-The 1st Map: STRAIGHTS OF TWELVE MAP was a reward from completing the PIRATE'S BELONGINGS collection (15 shinies). 10 of the 15 collections come from the Rum Cellar Adv. Solo, Solo, and Heroic GROUND spawns. The other 5 collections come from the Event Heroic and Challenge zone GROUND spawns. (These shinies will not pop until you have defeated the Captain and First Mate.) (credit Guk.Piccxy for the correction)

-The 4th Map: OCEAN OF TEARS MAP: There are confirmed 5 blue shiney collections that reward "Really Bad Eggs" shinies that when completed with yeild the OCEAN OF TEARS MAP (4th MAP). They can all be collected after the first named is killed, and you have the previous maps to see them. (Screenshot in thread comments shows spawn points)

-The 5th Map: SEA OF SANDS MAP: After completing the OCEAN OF TEARS MAP (4th Map), go back into the regular heroic zone and kill the first named. There will now be GREEN shinies that will spawn in the keg storage area (past first named aka the area with KIlidin the NPC in SOLO zone). These shinies will open a playing card collection "The Deckgang's Deck" when completed will yeild the FINAL MAP. (Screenshot in thread comments shows spawn points)

SIDE NOTES:

IN ORDER TO SEE THE BLUE SHINIES: -Have the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Map already collected.

IN ORDER TO SEE THE GREEN SHINIES: -Have the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Map already collected.

BOTH BLUE & GREEN SHINIES ARE TRACKABLE IF: -You have ability to see them by having previous maps -Utilizing a tracking ability such as a Gnomish Divining Rod
